title: [Dental fluoride prophylaxis: the chemical and bacteriological aspects].
abstract: In the first part of this paper the chemical and bacteriological rationale of dental caries fluoride prophylaxis is discussed in detail. In the second part the different possibilities of administration of fluorine, their advantages and disadvantages are exposed, with a full description of ionophoresis. This technique is recommended for its reliability, effectiveness and lack of side-effects.
